The Gardens Ice House invites boys and girls ages four to nine years old to The Gardens Ice House on Saturday, March 1 from 10AM – 12PM for a Try Hockey for Free clinic to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment.

The Try Hockey for Free clinic is part of USA Hockey’s seventh annual Hockey Weekend Across America celebration, which runs nationwide Feb. 28- March 2. This program, designed to provide youth hockey associations a national platform to introduce new kids to the sport, is a joint‐effort between USA Hockey, the National Hockey League, and NHL member clubs. With Total Hockey and Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports, the official sponsors of Try Hockey For Free Day, USA Hockey has close to 500 locations offering kids between the ages of 4 and 9 years old this unique opportunity.

“We look forward to introducing new families to our sport,” said Coach Tom Hendrix, Vice President and General Manager of The Gardens Ice House. “To help keep costs reasonable for parents, we’ve incorporated programs to provide first-year players with equipment for the season.”
